MS. HOLMES & MS. WATSON - APT. 2B by Kate Hamill
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s greatest detective duo are reimagined in this irreverent comedy filled with mystery, intrigue, and plenty of laughs. American medico, Joan Watson, is struggling to find her purpose in the world and a place to live, when fate, and her low bank account balance, step in, pairing her with an unlikely companion; Sherlock Holmes, herself. Not simply a feminist retelling of an old story. Baker street meets Laverne and Shirley in this fresh take that has punch and panache; with fast-paced hilarity from beginning to end. Holmes’ superlative powers of perception and beguiling eccentricities seem to be just what the doctor ordered, but will they be enough to unravel the game afoot? Sherlock faces the usual obstacles; Scotland Yard’s hapless Inspector Lestrade and a femme fatale with designs on Holmes’ heart. It seems as if Holmes isn’t the only one with clever ideas. Portland Monthly raves, “Witty & relevant… Sharp, playful, and moves at a rapid-fire pace… hilarious!”
Our strategies to prioritize community throughout our 2026 season include:
Presenting the works of innovative playwrights both new and old, beloved and previously unknown, local and far-flung, and whose plays offer stories both familiar and unfamiliar, escapist and challenging.
Continuing to add more programming to our recently expanded Special Events & New Works series with even more staged readings, workshops, short plays, improv., poetry, and music.
Expanding our community and diversity outreach in all of our programming. This includes inviting local groups to take part in our talkback events, interconnecting with local schools and special interest groups for onstage and offstage volunteer and educational opportunities, and participating in more community events throughout Bucks County and its surrounding PA & NJ areas.
Adjusting our performance schedule to help accommodate the ever-growing number of patrons who prefer matinees. Starting this season, each production’s third week of performances will no longer have a Thursday or Saturday evening performance but will instead have a Saturday matinee performance, bringing the total number of matinees during each production’s three-week performance run to 4.
Renovating, restoring, and modernizing the historical Spring Garden Mill so that it can continue being a working, cherished member of our arts community.
WE ARE SO THANKFUL to be afforded the opportunity to showcase the arts in our community and we cannot wait to welcome our new and longtime patrons, volunteers, and artists throughout our 2026 season!
2026 season
